I don't have the 5402 myself i have the 7100+6902 HD ,all non linux HD are pretty much the same to setup with the same "add on" and the same menu's,pretty stable boxes if you have all the setup right and load the patches right, there is a lot of threads about the 5402 on this forum already and how to set it up and a few problems people had so have a look at them too,overall good boxes for cs the support from the Phanth0m isn't great at times they suply the 3th party patches .

Had previously a Spiderbox 9000 HD although it died. The 3D felt like a gimmick on the spiderbox 9000 HD. The TM 5402 HD is much simpler to use. You can even save motorized settings. The signal strength is also a lot more powerful compared to the previous Spiderbox 9000 HD that I had. It's surprisingly very slim too.
It's also full 1080P HD. Although there currently aren't any 1080P HD channels, all of them are 1080i only at the moment.

Pretty impressive actually and I wished I bought that receiver in the first place instead of the Spiderbox that I only had for less than 2 years and it died. But knowing from previous experience, with my very old Technomate 1000-D receiver. I know Technomate is a very reliable satellite brand.

The only thing you need to do once you get the TM 5402 is install the Cardsharing patch, this is pretty simple. Once that's done your set! It will work with no issues. I am using cardsharing with that receiver. Have 2 C-lines added from my CS provider and it works with no problems at all.

I also have the 5402 & very happy with it...it is not 100% perfect but nothing is perfect anyway.
I use it with the softcam keys, if only I knew how using the cs bits, you make it sound so easy; I tried but failed, nevermind I can be without this extra feature. I know what people say about THE other receiver, especially one !!!... but this 5402 has been my 3rd technomate, after having others made before that (past 17 years in "sat world") , I wouldnt change anymore.

Okay, it's very simple. I did it in a day without consultation on any forum.

It's actually the Phantom patch. Here's the link from where I read on how to patch CS into the TM 5402 HD box just over a month ago. I didn't actually download from that forum site cos it required forum registration. I only used the instructions to help me with the installation of the patch.

I downloaded the patch elsewhere from another site where I didn't have to register on a forum just to get the link of it. You only need to google it and you'll find it.
The instructions are layed out with pictures. I found the guide pretty easy and straight forward.
Network settings need to be set to default for it to connect. You don't need to set static ip for the receiver as 192.168.02 will be permanent ip name on the receiver anyway and won't conflict with any of the other computers incase you setted static ip on the other PCs, however, they need to be set with a different static ip from the default 192.168.02 otherwise you won't be able to connect. 192.168.02 is a default PC IP address, if the satellite receiver has that too then there will be conflict and you may not be able to connect. For the conflict to not happen, you'll have to set 192.168.03, 192.168.04, etc for the other computers then the receiver won't conflict and will connect with no problem.

Make sure the CCcam works when you input it, don't try and test with those free CS servers cos otherwise you won't be sure if it works as they're generally unreliable. I had card sharing with my previous SB 9000 HD box and when it broke down. I simply transfers the CCcam details from that box to the new TM 5402.

Although it did take me around 7 hours to install all the channels though. I didn't install the channel list via an add on patch. I installed them all manually via satellite scanning. If you want to install a channel specifically without having to scan through. Do a PID search and just add in the frequency of that particular channel that you need. For example ESPN HD and only add frequency to the PID search of ESPN HD so that only that channel enters and not a bunch of other useless ones that you do not need. But once I got to grips with it. It was very simple. I am sure if I had set a new box from scratch next time it would take me only an hour or less for it.

@peter.green14: All the Sky UK channels are located in Astra 2D 28.2 Degree East. Don't worry, you don't need to really download an addon patch. Just scan through Astra 2D and all the SKY UK channels will be added. Astra 2D has only SKY UK channels. I catch with 100% signal all of them where I live in London. If you have a 90 cm solid dish, that's enough.

But as you may probably be aware, all of the channels work perfectly with no problem using CCcam.

I also use Bulsatcom softcam for the TM 5402 as well, which is on Hellas Sat 39 East. Since I don't catch Bulsatcom with my CS Provider.

Re: Technomate TM 5402 HD Super Plus USB PVR LAN Satellite

patches and add on's can be found here Technomate software online and latest patches are in Download center
make sure you load patches the adviced way latest patch 115 is a bit unstable for most people so maybe look for patch 114 in the first link the adviced way of loading patches
1)back up channel list
2)factory reset
3)load latest original technomate firmware(found on technomate.uk downloadsection or Download centerin originals section)
4)factory reset
5)load latest patch (after this load latest addon but if you did this before it will still be there)
6)factory reset
7)put back channellist and rescan all channels in use(after this you could put on latest softcams)
if you don't follow this you might get stuck with bugs/problems
I have very little problems after following this procedure
